STEAM-RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,665, dated December25, 1.883.

Application filed March 29, 1.883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, JOHN Corus, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Des Moines, in the county of Polk, State ofIowahave invented certain new and useful Improvements inSteam-Radiators, of which the following is a specification, to wit:

This invention relates to steam-radiators; and it consists in providingthe upright pipes of a radiator with a small diaphragm or partition neartheir upper ends, whereby each pipe is divided into two parts and thesteam caused to circulate, substantially as will be hereinafter morefully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in Vthe art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to de scribe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the accompanying drawings,inwhich- Figure l is a central vertical section of part of a radiator, andFig. 2 is a cross-section through two of the pipes.

A represents the base of a steam-radiator, from which rise any desirednumber of pipes, B, screwed into the base. rlhe pipes are closed attheir upper ends by screw-caps C, each of which is provided with acentral partition or diaphragm, arranged vertically, as seen at c, andhaving a space between their upper edges and the top of the cap. Thecaps are formed with an extension, b, on top, adapted to be clutched byany device for securing them on, and also for screwing the pipes intothe base, which enables me to place the radiator-pipes much nearertogether than by the old method, and also to use machinery for puttingthe whole together, while in ordinary cases this must be done by hand,and space left between the pipes for the use of the usual tongs. Thesteam from the base A passes into each pipe B, andthe partition at itsupper ends causes a division and circulation of the steam up one side ofthe pipe and down the other, passing over the partition.

I have represented in one of the pipes a small tube passing verticallythrough the diaphragm, 'which will in some cases be found desirable. l

Any repairs which may become necessary in a radiator made in this wayare easily and quickly made bythe removal of one or more pipes or theircaps.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A radiator tube or pipe provided with a small vertical partition nearits outer end, having a space between the partition and the end of thepipe, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a radiator, the pipes B B, each having a removable cap orextension, provided with a vertical partition, having a space between itand the upper end ofthe cap, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

3. A steam-radiator pipe having its diaphragm suspended from a removablecap upon the outer end of the pipe, whereby repairs are facilitated,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
